Obama Calls Out the Doomsayers: It's Hardly 'Armageddon'

The president went to Iowa City today and pointed out that—contrary to Republican hysteria—the sky hasn't fallen:

You turn on the news, you'll see the same folks are still shouting about how it's going to be the end of the world because this bill passed. …. Leaders of the Republican Party, they called the passage of this bill ‘Armageddon.' Armageddon! End of freedom as we know it! So after I signed the bill I looked around to see if there were any asteroids falling. Some cracks opening up in the Earth! Turned out it was a nice day!'
